Gazoo, Mike Maksimik does come on here once in a while--so you could check with him directly on the rights to the software and whether or not he'll let it into free distribution. . .

I found Mike and sent a message to him regarding this. I included in it an experience we shared while having dinner at a steakhouse on a night before a Lima Faire, I have a feeling he'll smile when he reads the message.

Mike Maksimik has given me permission to distribute the Midi Master software. Here are the 2 disks that were originally distributed by Cecure Electronics. Mike has requested that the software not be altered in a way that would remove his name from it. Please honor his request.

also any software using the port needs to use the DSR any custom comm routines will not work on a nano, calls from basic and teii work fine

for the V1 nano, I would amend this to say that any software using the port needs either to use the DSR or to be updated (fixed) to turn on the port as expected by the nano. I do have the source to Mike's version of Midi Master and have chatted with Swim about making changes, which should be fairly simple.

You have my full support. Also I could make cables and sell them if there's interest.

Speaking of music... one of my dreams for YEARS has been to get this MOD file converted to the TI-99/4A. I know it can be done, because I used to have it on my old TI decades ago. When I finally got back into the TI, I was shocked not to find it readily available.

So if I swap the wires as arcadeshopper stated I'd still be dead in the water, huh? That's too bad - the pma5 is a fine midi sound module and I like how compact it is.

Yes, though if you have things in place and want to test, I'll update the Midi Master 2.3 disk (as posted in this thread) and you can give it a try. I ordered a pair of 5-pin DIN MIDI cables for my Yamaha keyboard a week ago, they haven't arrived yet.

I will cobble together a cable tomorrow and be ready to give it a try. Thanks!

The files MAING and MASEXB were modified to explicitly turn the serial port on and off. This should make the programs compatible with the nano serial port. I cannot test anything until the rest of my hardware arrives.

If Bruce's later release also works with a non-SAMS system, we can probably modify it to work with the nano as well.

EDIT: for anyone trying to use the 'original' disk attached elsewhere in this thread, the disk volume name should be changed to MIDI, otherwise you'll get a fatal error during the load process.
